CSF rallies in ninth to win

Just when the Cal State Fullerton Titans needed offense, they got it — and just in time.

The No. 4 Titans strung together three singles and an RBI fielder's choice in the ninth inning en route to a 6-4 baseball victory over No. 23 Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Sunday afternoon at Baggett Stadium.

The Mustangs (26-11, 7-5 Big West) trailed, 4-1, after the third but scored runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to tie the score, 4-4.

In the ninth, Austin Diemer got a one-out single and Matt Chapman singled to put runners on the corners.

Austin Kingsolver then beat out a potential double play ball and provided the winning RBI as Diemer scored on the fielder's choice.

Richy Pedroza reached on catcher's interference and Carlos Lopez provided the insurance run as he roped an RBI single to right, allowing Kingsolver to score from second.

Michael Lorenzen (2-0) then retired the side in order in the bottom of the ninth to preserve the victory for the Titans (34-6, 10-2).

UC Irvine 1, Pacific 0: Dominique Taylor's clutch single in the third inning drove home the game's lone run and Andrew Morales made it stand as the Anteaters (25-11, 7-5) shut out the Tigers (10-24, 3-9) in their Big West victory in Stockton.

He extended his scoreless streak to 22 2/3 innings before handing over the game the Race Parmenter for the final two outs.

Long Beach State 8, UC Santa Barbara 4: Michael Hill, Ino Patron and Juan Avila each had three hits and the 49ers (17-20, 7-5) scored six runs in the third inning to beat the Gauchos (20-18, 6-6) in a Big West game in Santa Barbara.

No. 10 Oregon 5, No. 13 UCLA 3: Scott Heineman's bases-loaded triple in the fifth inning proved to be the big blow for the Ducks (29-10, 13-5) as they salvaged the final game of the three-game Pac-12 series with the Bruins (25-11, 9-6) in Eugene, Ore.

USC 15, Utah 10 (10 innings): The Trojans (16-23, 8-10 Pac-12) posted season highs of 15 runs and 22 hits, and scored five times in the 10th inning to beat the Utes (16-19, 5-13) in Salt Lake City.
